Fire doors in Saddleworth protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, care homes and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Saddleworth fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Saddleworth buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates

Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.

Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
